Kris Marshall and Katherine Jakeways star as Mr & Mrs Pepys in
this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of the world famous diaries. Samuel
Pepys was 26 when he decided to start keeping a diary, in January
1660. For the next ten years he faithfully recorded the day's
events and confessed his innermost thoughts. That diary has since
become one of our most important, and fascinating, historical
documents. Pepys gave us eyewitness accounts of some of the great
events of the 17th century, including the Great Fire of London and
the Second Dutch War. He also told us what people ate and wore,
what they did for fun, the tricks they played on each other, what
they expected of marriage, and even how they conducted love
affairs. He described London - the frozen river Thames, the rising
crime rate and the poverty - and recorded the details of his own
life: his wife, rivals, lovers and friends, his work for the Navy,
his drinking and social life. Over 350 years may have passed since
Pepys first put pen to paper, but the man and his preoccupations
feel surprisingly familiar. In this major BBC Radio dramatisation
of the journals, the sights and sounds of his world are vividly
conjured. This collection comprises all ten radio series plus a
special Saturday Drama centring on the Great Fire of London.
